Description

All recipe pages shown.

Wonderful antique handwritten cookbook and recipe manuscript, preserved in an old, heavily worn, loose binding, leather-bound account book measuring approximately 4 x 6.75 inches.

This fascinating homemade cookbook contains an assortment of handwritten recipes for cakes, pies, cookies, puddings, preserves, pickles, frostings, and other traditional homemade foods.

The recipes were written directly onto the printed pages of what was originally a wage or workmen\'s account book. The original printed headings include \"Names of Workmen,\" daily wage columns, and a printed \"Table of Wages for One or Two Weeks.\"

The manuscript offers an appealing glimpse into historical American home cooking, with recipes using molasses, brown sugar, sour milk, cream of tartar, shortening, spices, fruit, and other familiar household ingredients.

Additional handwritten instructions include preparations for pie filling, frosting, and other baking mixtures. Some recipes appear more than once, with variations in ingredients or preparation.

A particularly interesting aspect of this manuscript is the combination of traditional recipes and household accounting. Several pages contain handwritten grocery figures, dates, calculations, and names. One page also contains a handwritten list of individuals, including names that appear to include Elizabeth, Laura, Florence, Gladys, Grace, Anna, and others.

The cookbook is an appealing piece of culinary and domestic history, offering original handwritten instructions rather than modern reproductions.
